CS:GO

The fifth season of the prestigious ESL Pro League has now gone live for the European division and is about to do so for the North American region as well in a couple of hours!

The competition will feature twenty-eight teams for both divisions and a total of $1,000,000 in prize winnings. The online stage, also known as regular season stage, will run throughout a ten-week period up until 12th of May, followed by the LAN finals which are scheduled to take place inside the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, Texas, on 3rd and 4th of June.

Let us remind you that SK Gaming finished second during the previous fourth season after losing the grand final in a Bo3 series to Jordan 'n0thing' Gilbert's Cloud 9 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Tonight our CS:GO division will mark their debut with the new fifth player in the squad Joao 'felps' Vasconcellos. Furthermore Joao will do so in a match against his former team as our first opponent in this competition will be none other than Lincoln 'fnx' Lau's Immortals at 04:20 CET (10:20 PM EST).

The broadcast crew for the North American division will consist of some notable names such as old school Counter-Strike player Erik 'da_bears' Stromberg, Cloud 9 CS:GO's ex-manager Tres 'stunna' Saranthus, Alexander 'LeX' Deily, ex-iBUYPOWER's Sam 'DaZeD' Marine and more.
